Weeping may Remain
for a Night, but rejoicing Comes in the morning.
Psalm 30
If our
days are filled with situations which lead to nights of
Out of
the depths God lifted up this psalmist and no one gloated over them. The one
who was suffering called to God and he healed them. God brought them up from
the grave and spared them from going down into the pit. From the lowest moments
of their lives God lifted them up and kept them from going back down because
God brought healing and wholeness.
Because
God has brought healing the psalmist is filled with joy and when we are filled
with joy we are to sing and praise His name
Anger may last only a moment but God’s favour is forever; weeping comes
in the night but joy comes in the morning.
The
psalmist continues to state “I will never be shaken.” Yet when God seemed to
hide away there was despair and uncertainty. But then the psalmist called and
cried out for mercy and for God’s help. And God heard this cry and enabled the
one who was wailing to dance, the one who was in mourning to be filled with joy
so much so that their hearts may sing to God and cannot be silent any more.
They must give God thanks forever.
REFLECTION:
What a wonderful Psalm of praise!
God helps those who are in need even in the depths o sadness, hurt, pain and
questioning. All we need to do is to call for help and there will be
healing. Through this healing there will
also be songs of joy, and they will feel compelled to praise God. Weeping if it
occurs will be short term as joy comes with the morning. God will turn your
life around. All you need to do is call for his help his mercy, and grace!
If you are in need of healing or
find yourself in a time of despair, this Psalm tells us what to do- seek God’s
help and healing and God will respond. God will lift us up from despair so much
that we will want to dance and sing and praise God forever. And God just asks
us to thank him.
God loves you and wants you to
understand Him and how much he loves you. If you are in need of help and
healing call upon him. Pray and ask for healing and help and God will lift you
up, turn you around as you open your heart to believe and have faith.
PRAYER
Loving God hear my prayer as I call out to you. I believe
you will help and heal me and this is what I ask at this time. Lift me up from
where I am in despair and raise me up so that I will praise you forever. Enable
me to believe and follow you always for you are my God and I am seeking you. I
cry now to you with the hope and promise that I will have joy in the morning.
In your name God, Thank you and all praise be to you. Amen.
